ChildFund International works in 31 countries, assisting approximately 17.8 million children and their family members. Our distinctive approach focuses on working with children, throughout their journey from birth to young adulthood, as well as with families, local organizations and communities globally to create the environments children need to thrive. What began in 1938 as a modest effort to sustain orphanages has evolved into a global force working for children.
Today, we have a strategy that reflects boldness and ambition similar to that of our founders which is rooted in a renewed clarity of purpose and grounded in an extended view of children’s potential to not only survive and improve their own lives but to thrive as leaders of positive change for others.
